Program director and morning-show producer also let go

Beleaguered talk-show host Larry Krueger has lost his
job at KNBR -- and two other station employees also
were fired late Tuesday night.

Longtime program director Bob Agnew and Tony Rhein,
the producer of KNBR's morning show, were let go by
the station. The announcement was made around 10:15
p.m. Tuesday in a statement issued by senior vice
president Tony Salvadore on KNBR's Web site.

On "Sportsphone 680" last Wednesday night, Krueger
made reference to the Giants' "brain-dead Caribbean
hitters hacking at slop nightly." That led to Krueger
getting a suspension that was due to end this Monday.
Giants manager Felipe Alou refused to accept an
apology from Krueger. Alou appeared on

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" program Monday night and
called Krueger "this messenger of Satan, as I call
this guy now. ... And I believe there is no
forgiveness for Satan."
